Watford boss Javier Gracia is again expected to rotate his side. Isaac Success and Domingos Quina should be in contention, having both scored in the last round at Reading, while midfielder Nathaniel Chalobah is another expected to feature.

Sebastian Prodl and Stefano Okaka are both recovering from minor problems, and Miguel Britos (thigh) is also unavailable. Captain Troy Deeney, who played against Fulham with broken toes, will be rested. Winger Gerard Deulofeu (abdominal) and Tom Cleverley (Achilles) continue their recovery.
